As with most things in American culture, one can gauge how far past a trend is by how white is becomes. That being said, it seemed only a matter of time before hyphy went the way of the crunk - white and tired. Did it peak with Mistah FAB, Ghost Ride The Whip: The Movie, or with some random white kids demonstrating that even with props - white people can’t dance? No - it was when this happened:
“Ghost ridin’ grandma” - the three words that killed hyphy.
On a mostly unrelated note, this mash was introduced to me recently - and while it has absolutely nothing to do with ghost ridin’, whips, or crazy ass street dancing it does have a lot to do with Ghostbusters. And no matter how bunk the title sounds, I suggest you checking it out (if only for the novelty of it if nothing else).

A bold dream, Mr. DeLine, but I would suggest gunning instead for that superb & trippy specimen of Southern hip hop: ‘Crank dat Roy’
